What's special about these Wire Nuts®?

They allow you to connect and twist together 2 wires of various sizes for a safe wire end termination.
Fixed inner wire spring creates a secure thread that grips firmly onto the wires and prevents any disconnection.
Positive grip provides more leverage and allows easy installation with a tool, or by hand.
Available in 5 size-specific colors so you are able to easily identify which wire-nut is needed for your application.
